Hi all.
Im currently finishing my vertical machine and have been thinking about adding a laser for engraving, mostly aluminium.
I was inspired by someone who simply added a laser on the side of his spindle.
Question far a laser noob is:
What parts do I need? (PSU, Laser, software?)
What power is sufficiant for ”deep” engraving. About 0.5mm into aluminium?
Will it work using my existing setup with Mach3?
Thankful for any insights.
